The battery consists of 6,072 cells divided into 23 modules (with 264 cells each) and is said to recharge within 40 minutes. It weighs approximately 450 kilos, one third of the car’s overall weight. However, Seat does not yet reveal the battery’s capacity.

The CUPRA e-Racer is based on the chassis of the Seat Leon. The structure has been further adjusted through security elements such as a roll cage and plenty of carbon fibre.
